On 28 June RCG supporters joined more than a thousand people at a demonstration called by Nottingham People's Assembly under the banner 'Nottingham Together'. Nottingham RCG took the opportunity to raise the issue of the 2016 Immigration Act, taking a petition round the crowd that was very well received. We also organised parachute games for children to make it easier for their parents and carers to participate.

The stated aim of the event was 'to show that the vote to leave [the EU] is not an excuse for bigotry, and that any negotiations should include the right of EU citizens to stay in the UK if they wish'. It was fantastic to see so many people taking to the streets against racism. In practice, however, the event was utterly dominated by the Labour Party and dissenters were censored.

On 6 May RCG comrades from Nottingham, Coventry and Birmingham travelled to join the hundreds protesting outside Morton Hall detention centre in Lincolnshire and Yarls Wood in Bedfordshire, and in solidarity with the detainees.

On Saturday 14 May the Nottingham branch of the RCG organised a public meeting commemorating 100 years since the Easter Rising against British rule n Ireland and the Sykes-Picot agreement that carved up the Middle East between the European imperialist powers. The meeting heard from Palestinian, Kurdish and Irish speakers on the history of the respective struggles against imperialism, through history and up to the present.
